Everyday · For daily pooja. Stands on the floor; the murti sits at chest height.

The Girnar

Girnar is a hill above Junagadh with 866 shrines on it, every one reached on foot. It takes the name for its single ribbed dome and the elephants at its columns.

One ribbed dome instead of a spire, with elephants at the head of each column.

From order to your door

Your piece is carved for you. That takes about four months.

Pieces leave Ahmedabad by sea on a sailing we book for you. We send photographs at four points: when the order is confirmed, when carving starts, when it is finished, and when it is on the ship.

The craft

Eight to ten weeks at the bench.

The ribs on the dome are cut one at a time and the elephants sit at the head of each column. Both come off the same drawing the workshop uses for every Girnar.

In your home

122 cm, and no spire to clear.

94 cm of wall, 43 cm deep, and nothing above the dome to catch a low ceiling or a shelf. It is the piece to choose when the wall is fine but the height is not.

A mandir belongs in the north-east corner of the home — the ishan kon. Where that corner is not free, an east or north wall does. You face east to pray, so the murti faces back west.

This is the same for every piece we make, so it is said once here rather than on each one.
